Can't see how the filter cartridge would affect pH. Just reasonably big fish and few plants will change the pH.

If you have a tank with nothing in it but plants and water, it will not cycle if left on its own for 3 weeks.

Swords and platies will crossbreed. Guppies and platies won't, nor will mollies and platies or mollies and guppies. All are members of the Poeciliidae family which are freshwater live bearing fish. This doesn't mean they might not TRY to interbreed. The males are notoriously not fussy what they attempt to breed with.

If they survived the fire I am sure they would survive the aftermath if the water surface and filters were cleaned.

Check the water in your tank. It is possible your ammonia etc levels are too high. The original inhabitants have got used to less than ideal conditions but the new fish can't cope with the sudden introduction and die, leaving the originals happy as Larry. Of course, the new guppies may have got the white spot from the stress of transport etc. but not necessarily.

Sorry, never heard of this one. Where did you get it? If a lfs, ask them.

How was it taken care of Dave? Did you send the boys around? :lol: 8)

Are you sure they were gambusia? Did you tell the staff they are illegal to keep or sell? If the answer to both is 'yes' and they did nothing about it, I would ring MAF. Give them something to do besides check recent plant sales

I think females can store sperm up to 3 months but don't quote me on that
-
I for one am pleased to know our flora and fauna are being protected in this way. I know a lot of us make disparaging remarks about MAF but in this case they seem to be doing a good job.

I was looking at the sump idea (upgrading to a 6ft and using the 4ft as sump) but then saw the new Fluval and thought "Nah, this'll be easier!" :lol:

Are your parents able to feed them say every 3 or 4 days? The tank isn't mature so there isn't anything for them to browse on for longer periods.
